INSPIRED BY a GENIUS
Between the world and me
Theres a spirit
Something hanging in space
I call it
This Thing
I feel it leaving my body
Lynching me at midnight
Look!
I trip over my body
As if I were a stranger
Witnessing a victory celebration
And I see this thing
Taking on an identity
Right here before my surprising eyes
It becomes my presence
Their pleasure, their consumption of me
And I, the lynched body
Ah my friends
This thing wwas so surprised
At those human beings
For they were so brutal to me
Then suddenly, I,
This thing,
took another form before my eyes
I became a circle
A force,
I multiplied into a holy being
I was God, this thing,and man, all in one
But before the stranger appeared
This thing was many things...
It was my black dress and my crispy fingers,
My white bones, stiffed with black blood
It was my horrible body, my virginity,
And my breasts
Cut and consumed by countless disciples
But right here, at this celebration
This thing was my eyes
Witnessing my pain and misery
It became my weakness and their power over me
Then suddenly, another visitor appeared
It was €˜the yellow surprise of the
sun. It came to inflict more pain on me
More pain on my ragged corpse!

CHILDREN -R- THE FUTURE...RIGHT? FEED THEM!Cooking Pot by www.Rondie.net
ATTENTION ALL: These R Not My Pictures- Sent to me From a Friend- THANKS PAMPIDOU]..A CRY FOR HELP....Many children are homeless in the streets ....
having no shoes to put on their little feet....
their garments are covered with dirt,....
it's rugged....they find their food in the garbage....
these babies can't comprehend,....
they're just waiting for their adversity to end....Many have lost their parents....
And they are calling out for a friend,....
Give them a helping hand.....Their innocent eyes are full of fear,....
they are wondering why life is so unfair....
that's why the fortunate needs to listen to their cries....
to wipe the tears from their little eyes.....at nights they have no where to rest their heads,....
they are in need of comfortable bed.....
we need to open our eyes and face reality....
these kids are not in gaiety.....
their poor bellies are empty,...
this is leading a drastic fatality....when their hearts cries,who is there to listen?....
they are patiently waiting for it to glistens.....
The fortunate needs to compromise....
by opening their heart and eyes,....
and listen to the proverty-stricken children cries....
and wipe the tear from their saddened faces....even though these babies are so poor....
they are holding on to faith and hopes....
although some of these babies die....
some believe,that one person can dry....
